   • 1982 December 10, Ann Hulbert, “What Gender Gap?”, in The New York Times‎^[1], →ISSN:

     But in the light of last month's election returns, the gender gap looks less like a striking electoral phenomenon and more like a pollster's product. To judge from the way women actually voted, they do not compose a voting bloc with especially compassionate clout.
